Evils of Which We Must Be Watchful
Most surely a minister of Islam is not one who is careless and slothful,
but a willing worker, watchful, and guarding himself against evil,
because two evils which I know, if we can guard against, we should make
worthy ministers.
First: Keep our eyes from coveting others luxury, such as money and fine
clothes. Second. The enticing beauty of women.
These two evils are most troublesome but there is another evil to be
watchful of and that is poverty. When we come to want and be in great
straightness; there is a test of our worthiness, but be not a stricker.
He that starts and turns back is not worthy.
Again, let us not rely on the already converted ones of another
minister’s, but concentrating on the ability of ourselves as to how many
can we bring into the fold of Islam. A good fisherman gets no joy out of
the catch of another, but is joyful over what he catches.
Again, Dear Brothers, remember the day is far spent and the night is
falling when no man can do any work; so let us be faithful and pull all
we can out of the fire before night overtakes us. There will be a great
falling away soon. Among those who say they love Him, but let us stand.
We are pressed not forsakened; smitten, yet not destroyed.
I charge one and all, be on your watch and guard against evil. Hold dear
and dearer to the only friend we have, our Saviour and Almighty Deliverer
of whom the world deemed lost; The Restorer of him that had gone astray
in the Wilderness of North America; unto Him be we submissive, that He
may pour upon us His wisdom and love, that we walk not in the path of
those whom wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
Now in the Name of Him in whom glory and honor is due, I pray we be found
worthy on His return, to enter His mercies, Saviour Fard Muhammad.
